Overview
This is a beautifully sculpted mid-century modern lounge chair featuring a solid wood frame with elegant, sweeping paddle-style armrests and tapered legs. It is outfitted with thick, double-welted cushions upholstered in a vibrant, multi-colored Southwestern-style woven geometric textile.
Story
In the 1960s, American homes underwent a design revolution as heavy, dark furniture was replaced by airy, sculptural wooden frames. This chair represents that golden era of casual, comfortable living. Its current upholstery tells a second story of a later owner who wanted to inject warmth and global texture into a classic modernist silhouette.
Maker / Origin
While unsigned, the sweeping, continuous curve of the armrests that flow into the back support is highly characteristic of mid-century manufacturers like Selig Imperial or Baumritter, who imported Danish designs or manufactured high-quality interpretations in the United States.
Condition & Value
The wooden frame appears to be in excellent structural condition with a beautiful, warm patina and only minor, age-appropriate scuffs on the lower legs. The cushions appear plump, clean, and free of major fading, staining, or fraying along the seams.
